Vulnerabilities: May 2023 Highlights

[CVE-2023-28762] Information disclosure vulnerabilities in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform (SAP Note 3307833)

[CVE-2023-30743] Improper Neutralization of Input in SAPUI5 (SAP Note 3326210)

Due to improper neutralization of input, SAPUI5 allows injection of untrusted CSS.  This blocks user’s interaction with the application and could lead to the attacker reading or modifying user’s information through phishing attack.

[CVE-2023-29080] Privilege escalation vulnerability in SAP IBP, add-in for Microsoft Excel (SAP Note 3323415)

The installer of SAP IBP, add-in for Microsoft Excel, allows an authenticated attacker to add a custom script during the installation.  As a result in privilege escalation, an attacker can run code as an administration that could lead to a high impact on the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the system.
